RTÉ Rugby Podcast · Just how did Leinster crumble in the Champions Cup final? · 27 May 2026 podcast

But I think actually the way they've kind of progressed and what they've done, they've actually now can add layers to it.

They've been involved in a final now.

They now know what it feels like to be part of a business end of the season.

And I think it's only going to be great for them going forward.

That doesn't take away from the fact, though, in the middle of the game, there was a strong team they were coming up against.

And you could see that.

It just felt after 15, 20 minutes that it was a bit similar to the Champions Cup final.

It was a little bit inevitable.

I think they've got to be, first of all, they've got to be making sure they get into the Champions Cup for the next season.

So that top eight, they're going to be looking around, probably around that sixth, seventh, eighth place, making sure they're in.

Obviously, they'll want to try and target getting a home game.

But realistically, where they are, you've got to go, that's where they're at from a Challenge Cup point of view.

I think it's a competition that, again, they should be looking at going and blooding a little bit, getting a feel for it.

And actually, they've been in a final this year.

They've got to look to go and...

They think to themselves, semi-final, final and that, because you've got to get used to playing in finals.

You've got to get used to being in and around the business end of the season.

You have to train it a little bit.

I think they actually need to just learn how to map out a season almost and kind of work out that there's a certain amount of points that I know that they want to...

They ended up in the amount of points, I think it was 50-odd-something points, that would have actually got them in the top eight traditionally in the URC.
